It's great! It's had a mod done, a capacitor cut switch, three positions, not sure if that means there are multiple caps in there but it cuts out bass frequencies in stages to make it sound less flubby.

Very loud, same size as my Super Champ, I was originally expecting it to be smaller but figured it would be similar sized when I saw it had a 10" speaker in it.

Love it! Eighty quid!!

Yeah, I was a bit worried there was something fishy about it so did a quick Le Goog and it's a thing. Opens up the sound apparently.

I really don't need another amp but I can't resist. The tone hunt is real.

AC4TV guy has been ghosting me for a few days, MarketPlace, eh?

But another one has turned up! And it's sixty bux cheaper! Looks like it's been modded already, no longer a closed back. I'm picking it up tomorrow. 🔥😎

And I will be putting that gold Celestion in it for shits and giggles.

I think both our goals were lucky, on another day we would've lost. 🤷

Lol

... there’s a total lack of humanity in his work

I'm not sure about this!! 🙃

I don’t get the adoration

I've gone through most of my adult life denying his talent (much like The Beagles) but that's just posturing really. He wrote some incredible songs, his skill was to take the bits he liked from artists on the bleeding edge and make them palatable for the masses.

He wrote killer rock'n'roll tunes but all he wanted was to be big on Broadway!!

Apparently not!

He messed up the production, didn't he?? 🤦‍♂️

That amazing version of Wild is The Wind was the death knell I reckon. But maybe that was a reflection of the wider music industry as well, everyone was chasing the big bucks in the 80s.

I know what you mean, when my phone died this time last year I bought a cheap Motorola as a temp phone that was every bit as good as the Pixel 5.

I went back to the shop today and was told I'd have to speak to a manager on Monday about what happens next (no manager in the branch on a Saturday?!?). I'm scared they're gonna try and fob me off with the 'one stuck pixel is within tolerance' schtick, then I'm stuck with a very expensive defective phone that I'm gonna find it impossible to live with.

I gave the Motorola away once my Pixel 5 warranty replacement arrived, I regret doing that now, although it went to a very good home.

Pixel 8 has dead pixel, also quite a bit laggier handling video than my Pixel 5. Unimpressed so far.

Oh, he definitely has good taste in guitars! I saw Little Barrie championing the book on Instagram the other day, my curiosity was well and truly piqued!

They might have been okay with a different singer. I always liked that Johnny M was a big Stooges and New York Dolls fan, that should've given Morrissey a pass too as he ran The Dolls' and The Cramps' fan clubs at one stage. But no, he was AWFUL.

Are you allowed to say you're not a Johnny Marr fan? He did write a few nice little pop guitar things but I don't think he's all that. I'm obvs in a tiny minority, I've always hated The Smiths with a vengeance, but mainly because of Morrissey TBF.

That's a Roger Mayer Voodoo Fuzz that @rickster gave me many, many moons ago. My '59 Junior into that into a Solton 65w head (which I also got from @rickster!). I got the Boss tremolo pedal as a leaving present from him and the guys on Guitar magazine and he was, er, instrumental in helping me get my old Junior too. Well, waddayaknow! 🥰

I used to play in my mate Tony's band back in the late 90s, we were always third on the bill at the Bull & Gate. Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet turned up to see us once, I think he was lost. Do we get the deluxe vinyl reissue treatment we so richly deserved BITD?

Unlikely if he's spraying a jet of cold water all over them.

Blackfullas advising Parliament on decisions that will only affect blackfullas. Nope, still way too much power for white Aussies.

It's the very definition of white supremacy. At least they've outed themselves, no hiding now.

Thankfully it's stainless, past me was smart enough to realise that future me would inevitably find myself in this situation and made a very smart choice. But of course I'd forgotten about all that when I saw it on the bench top next to the lemon.

I leave my posh Nakiri tucked up in its box, safely out of harm's way. The Gyuto still lives in the knife block, I know I'm probably asking for trouble but what you gonna do?

I bought them both before I was diagnosed with GORD, I don't get to prepare and eat anything fun anymore. 🤣🔫

It's too expensive to share, mate.

I'm sure that is the next step, maybe not a bad thing. An HUD would be preferable to being wedded to this black brick in your hand. I'm not a total always-on-the-phone person but I am on it much more than I'd like.

I only ever use my IKEA paring knife to open packets of meat, my Sabatier was used to pry open a lid and the tip snapped. An IKEA chef's knife does most of the heavy lifting these days. I'm too scared/CBF to use my good knives.

A few months ago I got home from work one evening and found my precious Damascus Gyuto on the bench next to the remains of a lemon that had been sliced up that morning. The blade was undamaged thankfully.

CBD oil is great.

I feel very short changed by technology these days, same content, similar looking device. Be it laptops or phones, the user experience doesn't change very much considering you're spending so much cash.

My mother-in-law voted no, when questioned by my other half it turned out she didn't understand what the referendum was actually about. She was mortified when she found out the facts, Fox News is always on in their house, small wonder she voted the way she did.
